The Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Lisbon around Jul 29-30, with up to 25 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a bright moon will hide most meteors except the brightest, and from Lisbon the radiant in Aquarius climbs to 35° above the south horizon around 03:40. Local best viewing window: 01:15–04:45 WEST on the peak night, about 3.5 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 25/hour headline figure works out to roughly 14 meteors an hour from Lisbon under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: thick cloud for much of the window.
